Arsenal were 1-0 up after just five minutes thanks to Theo Walcott's early strike - but it would be the Gunners' only shot on target all game.
Arsene Wenger's men were punished moments after half-time when Leroy Sane scored Manchester City's equaliser, with Raheem Sterling completing the comeback on 71 minutes.

It was the second time in a week that Arsenal threw away a 1-0 lead, having done the same in the 2-1 defeat at Everton last Tuesday.
Arsenal now trail Premier League leaders Chelsea by nine points following the Blues' 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
And Stamford Bridge favourite Ballack couldn't resist aiming a dig at his former London rivals, slamming their performance in the second half.
